My husband and i are thinking of re locating to southern spain.I work in a secondary school as a teaching assistant and my husband is a self employed joiner who manafactures his own windows, gates, kitchens etc and also does bespoke joinery. Does anyone know if this sort of work is easily found.

where in spain you thinking of going to, i have house in Alcala la Real in Jaen (near granada), i too am a joiner so would be interested in your progress, as we are planning to move over as soon as we save up enough cash for renovating the house.

not quite sure what part of spain , but somewhere around Costa del Sol.Gary my husband wants to stay self employed in Spain, someone did e mail me saying a lot of work for joiner.We are planning to go out for holiday in October and a look around, any ideas of places to stay that are cheap,thanks sue.

where i am planning to live, the cost of living is considerably lower than the coast as are the house prices and its typical, traditional spanish villages, with good schooling etc, a very laid back life, loads of lovely lakes and gardens, near Cordoba, Jaen and Granada, and also 1 1/2 hour from Sierra Nevada (for ski ing) and 1 1/2 hour from Malaga.  You d need to be competent in the language to get a decent job though, as not many folk have more than a very basic knowledge of English, this suits us as we want to integrate into the spanish lifestyle.

I am also a joiner looking for work in Spain, but in Gran Canaria. worked in spain before and their methods can be lots different to ours. Hope you have success
